If you’re from North Dakota or are otherwise familiar with it, it only stands to reason that it’s more than just the Peace Garden State to you. You may also know it as the place where milk is the official state beverage, as well as the nation’s sole synthetic natural gas producer. It’s the home of Rugby: the geographical center of North America. It grows more sunflowers than any other state, as well.

However, even the most dedicated North Dakota enthusiasts can’t say they truly know the 39th state if they haven’t been reading regional history books on the topic. After all, generalized American history books can only tell you so much!
